include-packages

OPTIONAL List of packages to install.

You can ask the action to fetch packages and install them after Lazarus is installed.

Format is a string with the packages separated by comma: "Package 1, Package 2, Package 3".

The list of packages can be searched at the Lazarus IDE repository.

with-cache

OPTIONAL Use cached installer files.

DEFAULT true.

This is a boolean input and will use cache if set to true.

NOTE

At this moment, there's an issue with the retrieved install executables for Windows. I'm trying to get to the bottom of why, but it's going to take some time. I suggest you turn the cache off if you're going to compile for Windows.

Platforms

At the moment this action only supports:

• Windows (platform=win32, arch=x64)
• Linux (platform=linux, arch=x64)
• macOS (platform=darwin, arch=x64)

IMPORTANT

Due to the hard work of Levi there is now support for macOS.

Unfortunately there are some restrictions:

• The GitHub macOS runners only support Lazarus versions 2.0.8 and up.
• Until further notice only Cocoa widgset is supported on macOS runners.
